The Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme is a full time postgraduate programme that is targeted at business professionals who want to become tomorrow’s leaders and managers, who seek to support their practical experience with evidence based knowledge and benchmark their expertise with the experiences of other professionals. In today’s dynamic global environment, an international MBA opens up new international career opportunities.
